ICPS was invited to draft the submission by the Australian Association of Social Workers for the Inquiry into Child Protection Services in NSW. The submission argues the need for far reaching change that results in a renewed focus on children in their families and their communities and which includes not only the protection of children in danger, but the wider perspectives of well-being, prevention, therapy, family and community capacity building and social inclusion.
